How Does The Employee Referral Program Work?

The Employee Referral Program provides employees and their families with oppor-tunities to obtain assistance for a variety of personal problems which may affect their continued functioning as productive members West Virginia State Government or soci-ety as a whole. Confidential referrals are made for treatment with independent, off-site, professionals who are experienced in a wide range of issues including relationship, conflict, family concerns, and alcohol or drug abuse that can have a negative affect on the employee’s personal and work lives.

This Employee Referral Program Directory provides information regarding services for individuals who have substance-related problems. The directory is published as a service to State employees and is intended to provide contact information for sub-stance abuse treatment programs located throughout the State. Although many ser-vice providers are represented here, the list is not intended to be all-inclusive. In many communities, individual professionals such as licensed psychologists, licensed social workers, and licensed professional counselors also provide services for chemically-dependent/abusing individuals and their families. Some hospitals also provide inpa-tient substance abuse services as part of their psychiatric or general medical services.

If you would like further information concerning treatment resources available in the State, please write or call:

The mentor will assist each student and their caregivers in developing a crisis response plan within 10 days of initiating mentoring services. There are three primary goals for this service:

Respite

Respite services are provided in various locations throughout Cabell, Wayne, Mason, Lincoln, Logan and Mingo counties. The Community Based Supervisor’s office is

(19)

cated in Cabell County. Contacts:

Rebecca Cremeans, 1-800-642-3434, ext. 2124 Description of Program:

The Respite program provided by Prestera Center in Region II is designed to give the caregiver(s) of children with special needs a designated break and to provide the child with a positive, social environment. While at Respite, the children participate in activities such as crafts, board games, card games, bowling, movies, and fishing. The children also engage in role plays and other simulated social activities while they are in the program through the S.E.A.L.S. (Self-Esteem & Life Skills) curriculum. The goal of the recreational activities is to provide an interesting forum to deliver skill based interven-tions that build the anger management, social skills, and basic living skills which many of the children are lacking. These activities are designed to be developmentally ap-propriate and geared towards the ages of the children, and the duration in which they are provided is modified according to the functional limitations of the children enrolled. The activities are approximately 15-20 minutes each due to the limited atten-tion span demonstrated by many of the children.

The Respite program also provides a service for parents to help them better to com-municate or relate to their children. This service utilizes the evidenced based S.T.E.P. (Systematic Training for Effective Parenting) curriculum during each of the sessions. The sessions can be as frequent as a once a week with the Team Leader in the county pro-viding both feedback and modeling to empower the parent to provide structure and discipline in an appropriate manner.
